NMEA Sentence
Select which NMEA, third party or proprietary datagram format to be used for the communication.

The NMEA GLL datagram transfers the latitude and longitude of vessel position, the time of the position fix and the current status from a global positioning system (GPS).
•  NMEA GGA
The NMEA GGA datagram transfers time-, position- and fix-related data from a global positioning system (GPS).
•  NMEA RMC
The NMEA RMC datagram transfers the time, date, position, course and speed data from a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receiver.
Talker ID
If you want to specify a dedicated Talker ID for the datagram format, it can be defined here. Every NMEA datagram starts with a dollar ($) character. The "talker identifier" (ID) with two characters follows immediately after the dollar character. The Talker ID is followed by three characters that define the type of datagram. The Talker ID identifies the system that sends the datagram. When no Talker ID is defined, all identifiers are accepted.
